Hello Everyone,
Yesterday I was craving for a forgotten recipe....Dhone patar bata or coriander leaves paste....this is a quintessential Bengali winter dish which my mom prepared every winter...though in this age of supermarkets everything is available at every season.....u can relish this any time of the year. This is a no fuss recipe and requires very little time and ingredients. So here goes the recipe:
Ingredients
1. Coriander leaves - 1-2 bunch ( make a paste preferably without water)
2. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp or a pinch.
3. Green Chilly - 1 or more slit ( according to the hotness you require)
4. Garlic cloves - 2 - 3 chopped finely
5. Kalonji (nigella/ onion / kalijeera) - 1/4 tsp
6. Salt to taste.
7. Oil - 1 tsp
Method
In a small pan or kadhai heat the oil and put the kalonji, chilly and garlic and saute for 2-3 min. Do not burn the garlic.
Next , add in the coriander leaves paste and saute for a minute. Add the turmeric and salt and saute for another minute.
If you feel the mixture is too dry you can add a tbsp of water. Adjust the salt and switch off the flame once the raw smell of turmeric goes away. Serve with hot rice
